Part 2. Man’s said, “I want ALL my rounds back!”

The two people told cops he pulled a gun on them. He didn’t. They could have gotten him killed because police went into the situation thinking he had a gun drawn.

This happened last night in Portland, OR. Shout out to my friend for her ally ship. She knows her privilege and used it to talk her 💩 to the cops as well as tell them all the facts. The two people who called the cops were not handcuffed and later admitted to lying.

If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

I love soccer and I remember each World Cup with great intensity and always so much look forward to the next. But FIFA that was disgusting, even more disgusting than usual, and now I just can’t. And won’t.

In the end, DOGE didn't cut government spending, and there were no promised "savings." In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data. Elon Musk should be on trial. -- Joe Walsh

We don’t need permission, free days, or validation to celebrate MLK Day or Juneteenth.
We’ll honor our history whenever and however we choose.
June 14 is now Fuck Donald Trump Day.
Celebrate responsibly.

Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must.

Take stock of what this feels like, how unacceptable this is. Devote yourself to fighting it.

FIFA gave the orange felon a fake Peace Prize to appease his ego. They gave a fascist criminal a bullshit participation in order to keep that evil fragile asshole happy. We are living in the most corrupt immoral times.

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.
Just legal Calvinball. Obviously lawless.

This is the end of our democratic republic I fear
The 6 far right extremists on the illegitimate Supreme Court have officially allowed fascist republicans in Texas to use their newly redrawn corrupt racist gerrymandered map in 2026.

These white supremacists won’t stop until US democracy is totally destroyed. Disgusting.

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.

Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

MD, OR & IL can all immediately draw new maps via their legislatures. Do it.

CO, NY & NJ require constitutional amendments. NY & NJ can pass via legislature. CO would need a ballot initiative. Do it.

CA did it. VA is doing it. Do it. Do it now.
